Will Yang Cong agree to make a comeback?

Jiajing was really unsure of this.

Although he was used to arbitrarily in the appointment and removal of important officials in the court, he had no choice but to face someone like Yang Cong who was not interested in any position.

These days, the emperor's destiny is indeed undisputable in most of the time, but it is an exception in the appointment and removal of official positions, because if you want others to come out and hold an official position, they must be willing to do it, and they will not want them at all. So what if they are forced to take office, you must be able to work.

Jiajing had no doubts about Yang Cong's ability, but Jiajing was not sure whether Yang Cong would accept the position of Minister of Rites as Zhang Bangqi said.

This kid has to be recruited to ask.

After Zhang Bangqi left, he ordered people to rush to Yuyuantan and summon Yang Cong to come and meet him.

Yang Cong didn't expect that Zhang Bangqi would bring him out directly. They had not discussed this matter in advance, because it was normal for the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to serve as the Secretary of the Six Ministry. The Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet needed to focus on the matters of the cabinet and remove other official positions. They never thought that Jiajing would let Zhang Bangqi take the position of Minister of Rites.

Of course, even if he doesn't know about this, Jiajing summoned him, he has to go there, and he has to go there quickly. ::

He is not a crazy person like Xia Yan. He has to hold on to Jiajing if he has anything to do to show that he is different. Although he looks down on Jiajing more than Xia Yan, he has never shown it on the surface.

Unwilling to come back is another matter. He has not made any sense in front of Jiajing. On the contrary, he has shown considerable respect.

Jiajing wanted to summon him with a fast horse, so he responded with a fast horse. In less than half an hour, he appeared in front of Jiajing.

After he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he pretended to be panting and asked anxiously: "The emperor is eager to recruit Weichen, but what big thing happened?"

This kid is really good, at least he came here unexpectedly fast.

Jiajing nodded slightly and said with relief: "There is no major event. I just want to ask how the railway from North Zhili to South Zhili is being built."

When Yang Cong heard this, he understood what official position Jiajing wanted him to come back to serve.

In the past, when he wanted to pretend to retire, he naturally tried his best to refuse. Now, Xia Yan had been killed by Yan Song, so he naturally wanted to find a way to make a comeback as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't thought of any good idea yet, and Jiajing actually came to recruit him.

This is a good thing!

He pretended to think for a while, then he said seriously: "Back to the emperor, the railway from North Zhili to South Zhili has basically been built, and the rest are inspections and construction of stations and other ancillary facilities. Weichen estimated that it will be opened to traffic in about a month."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Oh, so fast? That's great. Then I can take the Fire Dragon Car to Jinling to worship my ancestors. By the way, the railway has been built, what are your plans?"

Intend?

Of course there is.

However, this cannot be said explicitly, it can only be implied.

Yang Cong pretended to be in a slight manner and said in a slight manner: "This, I don't have any specific plans yet. If it's okay, it's good to take care of the children and teach the disciples."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You, you have almost abandoned your skills. This will not work."

Yang Conglu said a little embarrassedly: "What the emperor taught me is that I will change my memory in the future."

Jiajing couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, don't leave now. Now, I will have an errand for you. Zhang Bangqi. I have been transferred to the cabinet. The position of Minister of Rites is vacant. How about you take over as Minister of Rites?"

Did Zhang Bangqi actually join the cabinet?

This decision was just told by Jiajing to Zhang Bangqi not long ago, and Yang Cong naturally had not received the news yet.

This is another good thing. Although the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet cannot compare with the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet in terms of power, it can play a certain role in the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet. At least, with Zhang Bangqi in the cabinet, Yan Song cannot do whatever he wants without scrupulously.

As for the position of the Minister of Rites, that is a good thing. Although the affairs under the Ministry of Rites are not very important, this position is quite important, because theoretically, the Ministry of Rites is the Ministry of Rites under the cabinet. The Minister of Rites is the head of the six ministers, and it is only half a step away from the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Yang Cong was about to try his best to make a comeback. He was so sleepy that someone gave him a pillow. Where can I find such a good thing?

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, then he bowed straightforwardly: "Thank you for your grace, the emperor."

This kid actually agreed so readily!

When Jiajing heard this, he was stunned.

However, soon, he said with relief: "That's right. Do it well, I still expect you to govern the country and build a country."

This is an hinting that it is not impossible to enter the cabinet or even become the chief minister of the cabinet as long as you do it well.

Jiajing rarely says this to people. Governing the country and developing a country is not something that ordinary people can do. He actually said all these words, which shows how much he values ​​Yang Cong.

At this time, we naturally have to give it to peaches and repay it with plums.

Yang Cong thought for a while, and then said as if he offered treasures: "Your Majesty, I'll thank you for your blessing. This railway business is so good that it can earn tens of thousands of taels in a month. I've been thinking these days how to spend this money and promote the emperor's kindness. Now, I've finally got an idea. I'm thinking that in the name of the Ministry of Rites or even the emperor, we will teach ordinary children for free, teach them the principles of studying things and learning knowledge, and let them learn some means of making a living. In this way, we can promote the principles of studying things and learning knowledge, and also make us grateful for the emperor's kindness. Emperor, do you think this is OK?"

This idea is quite good!

Whoever wants to be the emperor is grateful for the people under his rule?

Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said, "Teaching and educating is a good thing, I support you."

Yang Cong slapped, disgusted, "Your Majesty, I'll ask you to give the titles for each branch. In this way, everyone knows that this is the emperor who is helping the people."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, just report the name of the branch and I will write it for you."

He was so happy that he was swept by Yang Cong, but Yan Song felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

Yang Cong actually replaced Zhang Bangqi without hesitation and served as the Minister of Rites, thus entering the center of the court's power!

Yan Song really didn't expect this.

Yang Cong has been so slutty for so many years. No matter how Jiajing recruits him, he will not come back. He even took the initiative to move out of the capital to establish a physics college, as if he was determined to retire to the mountains and forests.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan was just beheaded and someone appeared in a flash!

At this time, Yan Song suddenly realized that perhaps the purpose of Yang Cong's retreat was to make him fight with Xia Yan.

Alas, I didn’t expect that the geese were pecked at the eyes all day long. Yang Cong is really treacherous!
